Pennsylvania Academic Standards for Mathematics / Pennsylvania Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content — Pennsylvania
PSSA is Pennsylvania’s own standards-based, criterion-referenced assessment. Its math reporting structure is built on the Pennsylvania Academic Standards/Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content rather than a separate multi-state framework, and it closely mirrors CCSS-style grade-level domains.
The official PSSA page lists the Mathematics Test Design and grade-level item/scoring samplers, but the accessible source excerpt did not expose a usable per-domain percentage blueprint; no reliable item-weight table was recoverable from the available primary page text.
